Dentist recommendation por favor
Looking for recommended dentist in Baja. Not really sure what city would be best. Easy to find a flight to Cabo. But Mexicali or perhaps getting a
ride to La Paz from Cabo.
Just not practical to drive down for every appointment (as much as I like the idea of that!)

If you are willing to drive to Mexicali, a bit farther east is Algodones, the capital of dentistry serving those from NOB. Many very good options
there specializing in more affordable procedures for folks from the english speaking side of the border. Lots of Canadians and US Citizens been going
there for years.

I had dental work performed in Puerto Penasco in 1999, and again in 2007 in Melaque on the mainland. Based on the quality, and price of the work, I
was encouraged to find a dentist in La Paz when I stayed there in 2014.
I have been very pleased with my dentist there! Her talent, equipment, and training is first rate and up to date!
Having said that, if I lived closer to the border I would find a clinic there. There are many to work with, and their rates are better than La Paz or
Cabo.
If flying south to get the work done is something you look forward to, I would check out a mainland dentist!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

By the way, if you choose Algodones, you can park in Arizona, and walk to your dental clinic.

Wow! Had absolutely no knowledge of Algodones, “The Dental Center of Mexico”. If anyone has any recommendation for one there, that would be great.
Not sure if I can catch a direct flight to Yuma, but I will investigate.
Thank you for the information.

.... on this forum I found David Ugarte, DDS as referred to me by another poster. US Citizen raised in Kalifornia & now living in Mexicali....
Exceptional chairside manners, great English speaking staff, 1/2 block across the border in Mexicali... You can probably find less costly service but
don’t think you will find better service....As a side note I personally had enough of the dental work in Los Algadones ( 3 different dentists
)....YMMV....Adrien

..... I’m not positive but I believe that there are between 300-400 dentist in Los Algadones... And a LOT of them are fresh in the field getting
experience... Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t; for me 1 good experience & 1 bad experience with the same dentist & 2 other
unsatisfactory results caused me to look elsewhere.... Los Algadones was very convenient as we volunteered camphosting along the Colorado River just
North of Yuma.... If’s you desire more information you can message me with your phone number & I’ll contact you....

For anyplace, I'd look for reviews before trying a dentist or any sort of professional service. Of course, here is a good place to get those reviews
too. But if you get serious, Google around and see what you find.

My dental work is probably not considered essential. So I have some time to research.
Besides, dental work is easy to put off until pain sets in!
Thanks for the feedback

Sammy has been my dentist since my kids were 12 and they are now 37! I really like him because he is so reasonable and his theme is NO PAIN. The man
has the hands of an angel.
He is located in TJ, in front of the wax museum and Calle Primera is the one with the HUGE white arch.

Thank you for those additional recommendations. I was looking at a google map of los algones and did not see dental betel.
I did not consider TJ. Easy to get to for me coming from OR. I like his no pain motto!
How is TJ? I avoided it for my 1st land crossing last year. Congestion, caravan.....
